Abstract
A disposable ashtray available in multiple quantities and put together in a package or attached to a cigarette pack for quick and convenient access. The ashtray comes in a folded flat arrangement that can be opened up to form a box shape for a convenient use. When the ashtray is filled out with bits and pieces of cigarette litter it is folded back and squeezed into a round shape that safely holds cigarette litter inside preventing it from spilling, dropping out and giving up odors. The folded piece can be disposed of at a garbage receptacle or can be temporarily placed in a pocket, bag, etc., for further disposal. It is inexpensive, convenient and can be obtained in multiple quantities. It can be disposed of immediately or at a later time as it safely holds cigarette litter inside.
